Occupiers to intensify terror over children skipping Russian schools – journalist

In the temporarily occupied Kakhovka district, Kherson region, the occupiers are preparing new repressive measures against parents whose children do not attend Russian-run schools.

Journalist Oleh Baturin reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

He stated that collaborator Pavlo Filipchuk claimed a list of 190 children from several communities in the Kakhovka district had been handed over to the Russian police.

"We can soon expect terror against parents, another wave of abductions, and whatever else representatives of the 'great Russian nation' might come up with," Baturin wrote.

He added, citing Filipchuk, that parents of 31 children had already been forced to pay money to the occupiers because their children were not attending Russian schools.

As was reported earlier, Russians are blackmailing residents of the temporarily occupied territories with the threat of losing parental rights in order to force their children into Russian schools and keep them constantly exposed to Kremlin propaganda.
